Thanks for looking in.
I don’t know of a list as such but there are photos of the name panels on the Kirkcadly WW1 memorial at the Scottish War Memorials website at http://warmemscot.s4.bizhat.com/warmemscot-ftopic735.html.

Thank you for your time. And for reading this

Just a note if you were interested in seeing a digital galley of the new Alastair Reynolds novella SLOW BULLETS.
Alastair Reynolds has written a stand-alone novella Slow Bullets. I know that you have reviewed many of his other books and was wondering if you were interested in seeing a copy for review.

From the author of the Revelation Space series comes an interstellar adventure of war, identity, betrayal, and the preservation of civilization itself.

A vast conflict, one that has encompassed hundreds of worlds and solar systems, appears to be finally at an end. A conscripted soldier is beginning to consider her life after the war and the family she has left behind. But for Scur—and for humanity—peace is not to be.

On the brink of the ceasefire, Scur is captured by a renegade war criminal, and left for dead in the ruins of a bunker. She revives aboard a prisoner transport vessel. Something has gone terribly wrong with the ship.

Passengers—combatants from both sides of the war—are waking up from hibernation far too soon. Their memories, embedded in bullets, are the only links to a world which is no longer recognizable. And Scur will be reacquainted with her old enemy, but with much higher stakes than just her own life.

Alastair Reynolds is the bestselling author of twelve novels including the Revelation Space series. He has received the British Science Fiction Award for his novel Chasm City, as well as the Seiun and Sidewise awards, and was shortlisted for the Hugo and Arthur C. Clarke awards. In 2013, he published a Dr. Who tie-in novel, Harvest of Time, with BBC Books. Reynolds has a Ph.D in Astronomy and worked for the European Space Agency before he left to write full time. He currently lives with his wife in Barry, Wales.

Slow Bullets by Alastair Reynolds is a space opera in novella size. Never before published story that quickly draws you in and keeps you on your toes till the end. ( 978-1-61696-193-0, $14.95, June 9, 2015 – Pub Date)

DIGITAL REVIEW COPIES ARE NOW AVAILABLE!

I read it as a fantasy well enough. It just didn’t do anything for me. SF in that setting might have interested me more.
Certainly somebody must have cleaned the ms up; you couldn’t have missed some of the literals. I still think it’s unprofessional to submit a manuscript containing a wheen of errors.

Sat, 31 Jan 2015 13:35:37 +0000http://jackdeighton.co.uk/?p=16652#comment-1255293I see you had a similar reaction to me, although I did accept the book on its own terms as a fantasy. I also read the published version and didn’t notice that many literals, so I’m guessing Angry Robot cleaned it up a lot from the ARC.
